Another year... Another month... Another day

It's been over 2 years since my last post!

Our little guy recently turned 2 and he is

just a hoot!  What a blessing he's been

throughout the last 2 years.  His sisters 

adore him (except when he is demolishing

their toys with his trucks!).

We are preparing for a move to a new house,

just across town.  It has been an interesting

process, to say the least.  Actually... I think

frustrating is more accurate.  It's a long story

and I won't get into it here - goodness knows

my mother and sister have heard me re-hash

it a number of times.  It's probably just best

to let it go...  

So we're hoping to be in the

new-to-us house in the next few weeks.

Then there will be the scramble of unpacking

and getting settled while I try to get our

homeschool curriculum all planned out and

organized.  Luckily, I use "Sonlight" which

has the lessons all planned, but I have an

order to things that I like to follow and I'll

need to get that all worked out.  It's hard to 

believe Eloise will be in 4th grade and Dinah

in 1st!  Time flies!  I hope to enjoy this 

schooling year more than I have the past

couple.  There are challenges with anything,

but I found it particularly challenging having

a newborn and toddler last year while trying

to navigate schooling 2 kiddos.  I'm hoping

this year doesn't have quite the bumps that

last year did!  I guess we'll see!

It's a dreary day in PA, but thankfully it is

cool outside.  Eloise is battling a random fever,

so I'm going to make some homemade chicken

soup and rolls for dinner and pray that her body

continues to fight off whatever it is she caught.

I hope to be back a little more often

in this space... I kinda miss it!

Nothing Much

I've decided that being the 5S Champion at work isn't so wonderful. It's actually a drag and I wish I didn't have to do it. Work has been so annoying and boring.... I think of all of the things I could be doing.... and it makes me wish for something more. Although, I can't complain. I've been blessed by the people I work with (some of them), and its really helped me open up (I used to be overly shy)... but when I think about life and what its about and what the heck I'm doing at my job... it just seems pointless. I have to keep reminding myself that I am there for a reason and I've benefitted in many ways... and God will use me where I am for His glory. I would love to have my own business, but I probably don't have the discipline... and I would love to be a SAHM... but I lack the commitment of even getting married. So, I'm feeling pretty discouraged. I have a tendency to be pretty pessimistic at times. Forgive me.

I am working on a new pair of mittens. They are a pretty shade of red... with a cream colored yarn. I'm hoping to go to Goodwill tomorrow and get more sweaters. We'll see!
